[Bashar]

in a forum i noticed some users write in a language which is the default language of the forum, and if they want to write in different language which has different direction they such as this http://www.nameclub.com/forum2/thread1235.html they write in arabic its RTL, if someone uses the English post it will be LTR

in phpbb there is a hack where if you write arabic the forum automatically makes that text RTL in the same post and if its english it keeps it LTR (default) sample at http://ubuntume.com/forums/ftopic229.php, phpbb hack as follow (originally from http://forum.oujdacity.net/support-i...rum-t2541.html the page in fresh you can find an english translation at this url)

{   
  $rg = ereg_replace ("[A-Za-z]", "", $str); 
  if (strlen($rg)*$coef < strlen($str)) return true; 
  return false;

Thank you.
